MSHA-Approved Type G-GC 2000V Cable - 3-Conductor w/Ground-Check, Flat CPE for Mining & Tunneling

Product Overview

The Type G-GC Power, Flat Parallel Portable Cable is a rugged, MSHA-listed trailing cable designed for AC-powered mining equipment requiring fail-safe ground monitoring. Featuring three EPR-insulated power conductors, a dedicated ground-check conductor, and an ultra-durable CPE jacket, this cable ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions. Rated for 2000V and 90°C operation, its flat parallel design resists crushing, oil, and abrasion, making it ideal for mining, tunneling, and heavy industrial applications.

Key Features:

  • Voltage Rating: 2000V AC.

  • Temperature Rating: 90°C (continuous).

  • Ground-Check System: Integrated yellow-insulated ground-check conductor for safety compliance.

  • Certifications: ICEA S-75-381, MSHA flame test approved.

  • Durability: Flat CPE jacket resists cuts, oils, and mechanical stress.

Construction Details

  1. Conductor:

    • Material: Tinned annealed copper for corrosion resistance and flexibility.

    • Stranding: Rope-lay stranding (ASTM B172) withstands repeated bending and vibration.

  2. Insulation System:

    • Power Conductors: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) for high-temperature stability (90°C) and resistance to oils/chemicals.

    • Ground-Check Conductor: Yellow elastomer insulation ensures easy identification and compliance with ground monitoring requirements.

    • Grounding Conductor: Green elastomer insulation, shaped to prevent movement within the flat assembly.

  3. Jacket:

    • CPE: Lead-cured, flame-retardant jacket offers superior cut, crush, and environmental resistance.

    • Flat Parallel Design: Minimizes bending radius and prevents conductor shifting during deployment.

Applications

  • Mining Equipment: Trailing cables for AC haulers, drills, and continuous miners with ground-check systems.

  • Heavy Machinery: Portable generators, pumps, and construction equipment in harsh environments.

  • Hazardous Locations: MSHA-regulated zones requiring flame-retardant, ground-monitored cables.

  • Industrial Sites: Oil rigs, tunnels, and underground installations with high mechanical stress.

Compliance & Certifications

  • ICEA S-75-381: Standards for portable mining and feeder cables.

  • MSHA Approval: Passes vertical flame tests for hazardous mining environments.

  • Flame Retardancy: Meets IEEE 1202 and ICEA T-29-520 flame resistance criteria.

Engineering Advantages

  1. Safety: Integrated ground-check conductor ensures compliance with fail-safe grounding protocols.

  2. Crush Resistance: Flat design and CPE jacket protect against runovers and crushing damage.

  3. Chemical Resistance: Withstands oils, steam, and harsh chemicals for extended service life.

  4. Flexibility: Rope-lay stranding allows easy handling and winding on reels.
